Price of double glazing in London

I'm trying to get a rough idea of how much double glazing costs in London, as I'm a first time buyer who's spotted a property I'd like to put an offer on but 2 of the windows in the flat are not in good shape and I'd need to replace them. I'm trying to get an idea of how much this would cost so I can figure whether to go ahead and make an offer or not. I don't have any exact measurements so can't ring around for quotes or anything.
So the bathroom and bedroom would need doing, the bathroom is a very small square casement window, I'd say something like 15 inches by 15 inches or even smaller. The bedroom is a regular sized sash window, it's not in a conservation area so I'm not obliged to keep it as sash but would would like to if it were affordable. I could just do casement if sash were a stupid price
Thanks for any advice!

Dont be surprised, replica hand made wooden sash windows can easily be £2.5/3k each, volume sash in timber or pvcu circa £1500/1800 each , casement styled "mock" sash far less but these shiney white imatations do tend to devalue homes.
For me I'd always recommend real sash windows but unless its a listed property (and then you'd HAVE to use replica timber products- that cannot have brush pile in some areas of the country!) then I'd stick with real sash windows either in PVCu or timber.
check some of my other posts to help you with the buying criteria.
good luck sashmanBuying quality goods which last, should be an investment that saves money. :T
Buying cheap products which fail, wastes money and costs twice as much in the long run. :mad:0
